Definitions
- the invention concerns a method for determination of an analyte concentration in a body fluid.
- the invention further concerns an analyte concentration measurement device.
- test elements can be provided as chemistry fields on a test tape, which is loadable into the meter in the form of a replaceable tape cassette.
- the user has no need to take care of the disposal of each single test element.
- the instrument is generally used by patients outside a laboratory environment, and therefore the measurement may be susceptible to non-intended user handling. In extreme cases of user handling scenarios, significant measurement deviations may occur.
- a proximity sensor module is configured to detect the presence of a user's body in order to switch the meter from standby to active mode.
- US 2015/0238131 A1 proposes to employ a proximity sensor to determine whether a body part of a user protrudes by a required amount within a housing aperture such that a lancing and blood collecting operation will be successful with a high degree of confidence.
- This document is not concerned with instrument handling during the ultimate measurement procedure, as the sample handling and processing is carried out in a fully automated way inside the housing.
- the object of the invention is to further improve the known measuring methods and systems to enhance the accuracy and precision of the measurement results by controlled user handling during the data acquisition phase or detection phase.
- the invention is based on the idea of preventing measurements from being distorted by the presence of a body part.
- a method for determination of an analyte and specifically glucose in a body fluid is proposed according to the invention which comprises the steps of:
- a warning is provided to the user upon sensing the presence of the body portion in the monitored space. Such a warning may contribute to optimization of user handling.
- Another improvement in this direction provides for measuring a time interval of presence of the body portion in the monitored space, and for aborting the detection of measuring values and/or providing an error message to the user after a predetermined length of the time interval.
- a wetting of the test element with body fluid is detected, and measuring of the time interval is started at the point in time when detecting the wetting.
- the length of the time interval is in the range of 0,5 to 2 s.
- the detection of measuring values is completed only if the body portion is not present in the monitored space.
- the output signal of the proximity sensor is made available as an input for a processor unit of the meter during processing of the measuring values.
- the proximity sensor For a dedicated discrimination of a problematic proximity it is advantageous to configure the proximity sensor such that the monitored space includes a cuboid in the size of at least 1 x 1 x 5 mm, preferably at least 3 x 3 x 10 mm, where the long side of the cuboid is perpendicular to a surface of the test element.
- the output signal of the proximity sensor is provided as a digital value indicating solely the presence or absence of the body portion in the monitored space.
- the detection of measuring values comprises an initial measuring phase for measuring a blank value on the test element prior to body fluid application, an intermediate measuring phase for tracking a development of the measuring values, and a final measuring phase for determining an end value which is characteristic for a quantity of the analyte.
- a further improvement in this connection comprises transporting the test element on a transport tape over a deflection tip as a sample application site, and arranging the proximity sensor adjacent or in close proximity to the deflection tip.
- a still further improvement provides that the body fluid is applied on a freely accessible application side of the test element, and the measuring values are detected by scanning a back side of the test element opposite to the application side.
- an analyte concentration measurement device in particular for blood glucose determination, comprising a handheld meter adapted to provide a disposable test element having a reaction area at an application site for applying body fluid from a user's body portion, a preferably photometric detection unit operable for detecting measuring values on or from the reaction area of the test element, and a proximity sensor disposed within the meter to sense the presence of the body portion in a monitored space in proximity to the reaction area of the test element, wherein a processor unit of the meter is configured for
- FIG. 1 an exemplary embodiment of a medical analyte testing system for testing an analyte in a body fluid, specifically glucose in a blood sample is shown.
- the system 10 at least comprises a portable blood glucose meter 12 adapted to receive a disposable test tape cassette 14 (shown separately) which can be inserted into a compartment of the meter 12.
- a tip 16 of the inserted tape cassette 14 is accessible to the user upon opening a tip cover 18.
- the tape cassette 14 serves as a test magazine, as a plurality of test elements 20 is provided on a spoolable transport tape for successive use on the tip 16.
- the handheld meter 12 is provided with a photometric measuring unit 22 and a processor unit 24 (electronic micro-processor) for determining the concentration of the analyte from the measured values.
- the measuring result and other information can be displayed to the user on a display 24.
- the meter 12 is further provided with a proximity sensor 28 to detect the presence of a body part during critical measuring phases, thus allowing to control user handling.
- a lancing aid 30 is attached to the meter 12 for simplifying lancing of a body part in order to sample blood.
- Fig. 2 depicts a handling situation in a partial cross section of the system 10 transverse to the tip 16 of the inserted tape cassette 14.
- the user applies a drop of blood from his finger 32 to a top side of the active test element 22 provided on the tip 16.
- the test element 22 is formed by a layered chemistry field on the transport tape 34 which is responsive to the analyte by a color change.
- the measuring unit 22 provided as a reflectometer allows a measurement of the analyte concentration by optical scanning the rear side of test element 22 through the transparent transport tape 34.
- the measurement may be biased by the presence of the finger 32 which appears to the reflectometer as a dark background behind the incompletely opaque chemistry field. This influence increases with decreasing distance to the critical test field area.
- continued finger pressure on the test element 22 after sample application may lead to an unwanted modification of the layered test structure, specifically if a covering net provided for sample spreading is impressed into the chemistry field such that the optical measurement is impaired thereby.
- the proximity sensor 28 is configured to sense the presence of the body portion in a monitored space 36 in proximity to the test element 22.
- the proximity sensor 28 is placed laterally to the tape 34 adjacent to the tip 16.
- the favored solid angle that will be surveilled by the proximity sensor 28 should be as much as possible restricted. It should be ensured that the sensor does not detect objects outside a specified detection area, especially any support surface like e.g. a table. Ideally, the monitored space 36 should include a cuboid in the size of approximately 3 x 3 x 10 mm, where the long side of the cuboid is perpendicular to the top side of the test element 20. Furthermore, the optical analyte measuring unit 22 should not be disturbed by the proximity sensor 28.
- the proximity sensor 28 should deliver a digital signal indicating solely the following cases:
- the proximity sensor 28 may be formed as a kind of photometric sensor that can detect any kind of object.
- the working principle may be similar to that of the analyte measuring unit: Somehow modulated light is send out by a light source (LED). Any reflected light is collected by a photo detector. Depending on the amount of reflected light an analog signal is created. Via a set threshold the digital discrimination between absence and presence of an object is made.
- the measuring process may be divided in various measuring phases.
- the time diagram shows measuring values on a test element provided by using a main light source (symbol x) and at least one auxiliary light source (symbol o) of the measuring unit 22.
- a blank value is detected as a double-measurement on the yet unused test element 20 prior to sample application.
- the auxiliary light source is powered to enable wetting detection preferably at a different wavelength.
- consecutive measuring values are registered with a given sampling rate of e.g. 5 Hz to enable recognition of the wetting of the test element 22 due to sample application by the user. Such wetting leads to a signal decrease below a predetermined detection threshold.
- a predetermined waiting time should be observed in phase III.
- phase IV the chemical reaction due to the presence of the analyte can be tracked in phase IV, where the reaction product leads to an increasing darkening and hence to less reflected light.
- the kinetic curve exhibits an asymptotic behavior, such that a given stop criterion is reached after a plurality of measurement readings.
- phase V an end value is recorded, eventually followed by a control measurement for sufficiency of sample application.
- the analyte concentration value is determined from the ration of the end value to the blank value. All other measurements are only accessory to find this result.
- Fig. 3 also shows a comparative measurement with intended use, i.e. absence of a body part 32 after the waiting time (upper curve associated with the dotted arrow shown in phase III), and with non-intended use, i.e. presence of the body part 32 (lower kinetic curve and continuous arrow in phase III). Associated therewith, the digital output signal of the proximity sensor 28 is shown below in dotted and continuous lines. It becomes readily apparent that the presence of the body part after sample application leads to a reduced background remission, which interferes the measuring result quite remarkably.
- the information obtained by the proximity sensor 28 in the meter 12 is processed differently during various measurement phases. If possible, appropriate feedback (visual, acoustic and/or haptic) is provided to the user, as explained in more detail below.
- Fig. 4 shows a flow-chart of a signal processing routine of the processing unit 24 in phase I when measuring the blank value.
- the blank value can be determined without bias of the measuring unit 22.
- the blank value cannot be determined reliably and an error message is displayed as a feedback to the user.
- Fig. 5 shows another operational principle of the signal processing routine (measuring engine) running in the processing unit 24 in phase III.
- the kinetic curve tracking is accomplished when the object (body portion) is not present in the monitored space.
- the presence of the body portion may be tolerated for a given elapsed time since the wetting detection.
- the user can be warned to remove his finger, such that the active test element 20 needs not to be discarded. Thereafter, an error message is displayed and the measurement is aborted.
- both the output signal of the proximity sensor 28 and the measuring values of the measuring unit 22 have to be supplied to the processing unit 24 for sequential or parallel processing. Furthermore, the processing unit 24 must be configured for evaluation of a duration of the proximity signal.
- a second confirmation of the blood application may be obtained by an evaluation of the proximity signal. This may be obtained comparing the digital proximity signal with empirical data for duration of object detection during wetting stored in a memory of the meter 12.
- Another option to employ the proximity sensor 28 would be to stop the tape transport while object recognition is positive to ensure a correct positioning of the test elements in the respective active position on the tip 16.
